Brig. Gen. Roger R. Wicks, who
retired May 31 at Fort Monroe,
Va., is the most recent addition
to the distinguished list of retired
Army and Navy officers now liv
ing in Southern Pines and the
Sandhills.
General and Mrs. "Wicks are
staying at Hibernia, the Struthers
Burt home, which they have
taken until the fall while they
look for a smaller place in town.
In choosing Southern Pines as a
home, the General gave as his
reason, “It is a land of golf courses
surrounded by houses.’’ He is not
only a golfer, but a tennis enthus
iast.
Living at Hibernia is a sort of
homecoming for them, as it was
the scene of another happy time
in the lives of the Wicks family.
This was in 1945, when Mrs.
Wicks and their daughter Miss
Patricia came to Southern Pines
to await the General’s return from
Europe, and to welcome him home
after three years in the European
theatre. Their other daughter,
now Mrs. Robert G. Greeley of
Milton, Mass., was then carrying
on the family’s Army tradition by
service in the WAC. She obtained
leave and joined the family for
the reunion at Hibernia.
Mrs. Wicks is the former Miss
Vera Urgens, of Antwerp. They
were married in London in 1921.
In his 34 years of Army life.
General Wicks commanded Amer
ican artillery on the Rhine, before
the Brenner pass and along the
tense 38th parallel in Korea.
He was born in Utica, N. Y., son
of State Senator Charles M,
Wicks. He .left Yale in 1916 to
enter West Point and graduated
after two years there as a second
lieutenant of artillery, just 10
